Abstract

Due to the disproportionate growth of companies in the construction sector in Peru and the countless accidents that have occurred in construction companies, additionally there is little concern on the part of managers regarding maintaining a culture of occupational safety in their companies, it is necessary to carry out the present work whose objectives were to identify the relationship of work behavior with occupational safety in construction companies, establish the type of behavior of workers and the level of safety at work. For which 74 companies were contacted and 917 workers were interviewed, they used the questionnaires proposed by Aguilar, De Lille, Escamilla & Cetina, (2018) to measure work behavior and an adaptation of the questionnaire developed by Gómez, Silva, Vilaret, & Suasnavas (2016) on safety at work, both instruments went through content validation by three experts and reliability with Cronbach's alpha. The normality test was performed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, obtaining a p<0.05, which shows that both variables do not have normal distribution, subsequently using Spearman's Rho = 0.549 and a value of sig. 0.00**. The conclusions were: there is a moderate positive relationship between work behavior and safety at work in construction companies; workers have a negative perception of work behavior and the level of safety at work.
